answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/05/2023 answer text <p>Having met our target to virtually eliminate long waits of two years or more for elective procedures in July 2022, we have now also significantly reduced waits of over 18 months, in line with the targets set out in the elective recovery plan.</p><p> </p><p>As a result of the pandemic, the number of patients waiting over 18 months peaked at almost 125,000 in September 2021. Official NHS England statistics show at the end of March 2023 there were 10,737 patients waiting over 18 months, a reduction of over 91% from this peak.</p><p> </p><p>As with the two year target successfully met in July 2022, we have always been clear that there will be valid reasons why a small number of patients may need to wait more than 18 months, and for the patients that are still waiting local NHS services are working hard to schedule their appointments in line with clinical advice as a priority.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 15/05/2023 14:47:29 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince

The NHS Constitution allows patients to be treated by an independent sector provider where available as part of their right to choose. We want to make sure this is offered consistently across the country, which is why we will be working with the independent sector, the NHS and primary care to ensure that referral systems include all appropriate independent sector providers, opening up a full suite of available options for patients.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 27/04/2023 11:17:06 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/02/2023 answer text <p>The Health Education England (HEE) Performers List Validation by Experience (PLVE) process is in place to enable overseas dentists who have passed the Overseas Registration Examination to join the National Health Service Performers List in a supportive and safe environment. We keep this process under review.</p><p>Provided all the necessary application information is available, an eligible dentist will be accepted into HEE’s PLVE process within four to six weeks. Once confirmed by NHS England, the dentist will join the Performers List at that point, not at the end of the PLVE process. The time then spent practising NHS dentistry with the PLVE model will depend on the support needs of the individual applicant and does not affect their Performers List status<em>.</em></p><p>Dentists entering the Performers List through the PLVE method take time to develop an understanding of the NHS system and to ensure they are safe to practice unsupervised.</p><p><strong><br> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Harborough answering member printed Neil O'Brien question first answered 01/02/2023 13:39:17 answering member 4679 label Biography information for Neil O'Brien
